I just got a new computer with the windows vista. How do I get the old programs to be compatible with it?

Answer 1

On the humorous side, you have to sit the programs down with each other and let them talk it out over some coffee or cool beverages. They have to learn to like each other and not think that one is better than the other.... And on the serious side, hit that site up that the other answers provided. It should take care of all of your problems with the compatibility of those programs.
Good luck love....

Answer 2

Same ol thing when it comes to Windows, a new version comes out and then the software you have is no longer supported. You're probably fairly new to computers. This how the big business world keeps making it's profits. Don't get me wrong Windows Vista may be better than XP which was better than 2000 which was better than ME which was better than 98 SE which was better than 98 which wasn't better than 95. We probably could have stopped at 95 and NT4 but then that wouldn't have made Bill a billionaire. So when the software manufacturers make upgrades available or redefine their products to work with Vista you'll be able to get started again and again and again.

For now you might think of contacting the manufacturers of the various SW titles that you presently have and see if they have a patch or tweak for Vista that will amke you existing software compatible. Good Luck!!

Answer 3

Most programs *will* be compatible.
However, some will not.
You just need to wait for those program makers to update their programs so that they *will* be compatible.

I suggest not upgrading to vista for another 6 months.

Answer 4

IF you actually have any programs that don't seem to work correctly, you need to visit the websites of the software vendor and navigate to their support section. Many of them may have a patch or update that fixes any incompatibilities. Good luck.
